﻿Do you know someone who has an uncanny ability to stay calm and win over others, even when they are being attacked? Have you ever wondered why even though you knew you shouldn’t say something because it would hurt your cause, you blurted it out anyway? Do your know someone who is unbelievably ignorant of the impact their moods have on others?

In today's episode of "Why It Works," author and columnist Justin Bariso reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind why EQ works. We explore the power of pausing before we speak, what we can learn from former FBI lead hostage negotiator Chris Voss about empathy, and how we can salvage and even benefit from situations of emotional hijack.
